Prerequisites: C or better in CSCE 145 or in MATH 241, and in either CSCE 355 or MATH 574, CSCE 145 or MATH 241, and at least one of CSCE 355, MATH 300, or MATH 374, or consent of the Undergraduate Director

After our last major curriculum revision we noticed that some prerequisites had been changed in error, replacing MATH 241 by MATH 300. In many cases, MATH 241 should have been retained and MATH 300 added. Other prerequisites are no longer appropriate. MATH 300 is now a sufficient prerequisite for many of our 500 level courses, so we are eliminating redundant 500 level prerequisites.

Letters of Concurrence from the relevant units and/or Palmetto College:

Letter 1:

These are fine.
The department of Computer Science and Engineering concurs with the proposed changes to the pre-reqs of MATH 562 and MATH 587 shown below.

Jose,
Could we please have a letter of concurrence for the following prerequisite changes to made to our cross-listed courses? Only the chains of MATH prerequisites are affected; the CSCE prerequisites should remain as they are. This has been necessitated by the introduction of MATH 300 into the program. This course becomes a more suitable prerequisite for our students, but CS students can follow other pathways. The changes have been made in consultation with Professors Buell, Fenner, and Valtorta.
MATH 562 (=CSCE 551): Replace CSCE 350 or MATH 344 or MATH 544 or MATH 574
by CSCE 350 or MATH 300.
MATH 587 (=CSCE 557): Replace CSCE 145 or MATH 241, and either CSCE 355 or MATH 574
by CSCE 145 or MATH 241, and at least one of CSCE 355, MATH 300, or MATH 374.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks!
Matt
